Over a decade ago in his best selling book Crow and Weasel, Cheyenne author Barry Lopez summed up the core of his Native American philosophy on living. He wrote: "It is good to be alive. To... More > have friends, to have a family, to have children, to live in a particular place. These relationships are sacred."
